Korea was 5 yrs after WWII; but the concern was WWIII.

Vietnam was some yrs after Korea; but a repeat of Korea was to be avoided.

After Vietnam, the issue, for the US, was redeeming prestige; which was accomplished with Operation Desert Storm in 1991.

What describes a similarity between Vietnam and Korea just before the Vietnam and Korean Wars?

Before the Vietnam and Korean Wars, both Vietnam and Korea experienced significant political and social divisions, largely influenced by colonial rule and the Cold War context. In Korea, the division into North and South followed the end of Japanese occupation, while Vietnam split into North and South after French colonial rule. Both regions were also caught in the struggle between communism and capitalism, with the North receiving support from communist powers (the Soviet Union and China for Vietnam, and the Soviet Union for North Korea) and the South backed by the United States and its allies. This geopolitical tension set the stage for the subsequent wars in both countries.

Why did the US agree to become involved in the Korean and Vietnam war?

Both the Korean and Vietnam wars occurred during the "cold war". This was the time after WWII that the U.S and the Soviet Union were having an arms race against each other. Another aspect of the cold war was that each country was trying to turn many other countries either communist (like Soviet Union) or democratic (like the U.S). Both the Vietnam and Korean wars were proxy wars. What this means is that they were wars where each country used a weaker country to fight "for" them. In both Vietnam and Korea , the Soviets had North Korea and North Vietnam and we had the south parts of both. Basically both wars were a way for the U.S and Russia to fight without actually declaring war against each other specifically. The U.S won the Korean War against Russia, and Russia won the Vietnam war against the U.S.
